I'm sure you meant livecd-stage1, and yes.  You should do all of your
configuration in your fsscript.

mkxf86config mouse detection

First, thanks again for the help I received on getting a Java VM on a LiveCD
configured correctly 

The next problem I am encountering involves mkxf86config ( version 0.9.7 ) not
detecting the mouse when it generates the xorg.conf file.

Here is what mkxf86config places in the ServerLayout section of the xorg.conf
file it generates:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "X.Org Configured"
        Screen  0       "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice     "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# PS/2 Mouse not detected
#       InputDevice     "Serial Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
# USB Mouse not detected
#No Synaptics touchpad found
EndSection

And for comparison, here is what "Xorg -configure" places in the ServerLayout
section of the xorg.conf file:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

I have tested mkxf86config on three laptop machines and it did not detect the

Actually, during a fresh install, installing a JDK will set the itself
as the system-vm for you, so you shouldn't have to set it yourself.

I am pretty sure I know the problem.

Yeah.  I don't care what X -configure says.  It works *so* totally
differently that they aren't even comparable.  You probably don't have
"hwsetup" installed.

Check the contents of your /etc/sysconfig directory (on the booted
LiveCD) and see if it detects your mouse.  If it doesn't neither will
mkxf86config.

No problem... glad I can help.  =]

After experimenting with the various suggestions that Andrew and Chris
submitted ( and learning more about how Catalyst works in the process ) I
finally figured out that the JDK package was designed to install itself as the
system-vm in the first place. 

I eventually discovered that I did not have the package.keywords file in my
portage-overlay configured correctly with the packages given on the
java-upgrade page.

The Java applications on my LiveCD are working fine now 

Thanks,

Hi and welcome to the ml!

Using a stage1.spec, a portage snapshot and a stage3 archives, you can build a 
stage1. In this process you select the package you need.

Don't know what you need to do, but remember to add livecd useflag..for 
hardware detection also hwsetup it's nice

No problem.. in the creation of the stage1, you'll use your 
computer /etc/portage/ files, so all depend about your keywords (you can also 
create a /etc/portage/livecd/ and add files for masking here).

Nope

Hope to be clear
